Android 5.1 soak test begins for the 2014 Moto X on US Cellular

Motorola has started the soak test for Android 5.1 on the 2014 Moto X for U.S. Cellular.

2014 Moto X owners on US Cellular, there's some good news afoot. Motorola has started soak testing the Android 5.1 update for the 2014 Moto X on US Cellular, which means a full rollout shouldn't be too far off.

The news comes once again from Motorola's David Schuster over on Google Plus, however this is a bit of an odd one. US Cellular originally indicated that the 5.1 update was rolling out towards the end of May, but chances are that the rollout stopped to fix a bug or two and that's what this new soak test is for.

In any event, this soak test should mean that, assuming all goes well, we'll see a full rollout to the 2014 Moto X on US Cellular within the coming weeks.

The struggle is real.....meanwhile, over on the Moto X subreddit, I'm being entertained by complaints from EVERYONE not receiving this update...so I don't feel too bad that I'm over here on ATT waiting for 5.1.

I got the update on my pure, and the battery life took about a 5hour hit on my first full day with it. I never had an issue before, and I hardly used the phone that day, it was dying faster at the little to no use activity level.
